Since I’m really kind of mad right now, I’ve just sent this off to her… “Ohoo look, I got loads of email!” :evil: > I couldn’t help but notice the number of people that have signed your guestbook, to say what great tutorials you have on your site, and how helpful they are. You know what? I couldn’t agree more. Shame you never wrote them really, isn’t it? Aside from ripping off two of my own tutes on drawing and animation, as far as I can tell, every other guide in that site is an exact copy of one of the ones on [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com). Many of these people are my friends, have put a great deal of effort and thought into writing the tutes, and I have a large amount of respect for them, which is more than can be said for you. To claim that you have written all of these, and then have the sheer audacity to take the credit and tell people to take the source code since nothing is copyrighted and all belongs to you, is beyond belief. What the hell were you thinking? That we wouldn’t notice?!? We have noticed. And we are not a happy group. Now I suggest that you remove all of the work on here that was done by us, go out and buy a book on Flash, read it, then come up with something of your own. - Kitiara ---

no no, there’s another one as well 🙂 [http://www.techhelping.com/geegee/](http://www.techhelping.com/geegee/) btw… why are Syko and RenGirl listed on the “Thanks” page? :- OMFG! She cou;dn’t even write her own f_cking THANKS PAGE! WHAT A F_CKING LOSER! 😠 > \*\*Even though I am the only individual who runs and maintains the site, this site would not be functional without the help of the hundreds of people who have periodically helped me infuse new life into it. The following is a short list of people that I would like to take an opportunity to thank for their great help over the years. If I forgot to mention anyone, my apologies!

This GG’s site is hosted on the extreme gamers site. I think Kirupa should contact them and tell them to take it down. ( info removed on 1 May 2007 at Amit’s request :)) Or we could jsut send Dan over to knock on their door. ---
